Question about DT figures:

Are the DT figures Luke, Ben and Vader the same figures that 99% of us have? I know the difference between DT sabers and single sabers.

In other words can a DT saber be put with any 1977 figure?

I'm not an expert on the early bird Luke but a quick search of this forum pulls up this thread.
http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=18317

Here it suggests that 2 line (big copyright) and 3 line HK Coos are generally considered early DT Luke's based on early bird kits and DT Luke MOC examples.

This is backed up by a post by aussiejames on TIG

Based on this I would say family II with big copyright from Wolff's Guide is your best bet.

I have also read in the past that the EB Lukes have certain distinguishing features such as darker thicker paint apps for the eyes and eyebrows, and a slightly darker shade of colour for the pants. I couldn't find a definitive answer on this and the only reference I can find at the moment is an old RS post (about half way down)

So from what I can understand this auction would not be a true EB figure, however a real DT saber.... ??

I don't feel I'm qualified to give you a definitive answer on that. I've seen a 3 line Coo Luke listed as an EB but without DT saber on Matt Fox's superb limelight on RS at http://forum.rebelscum.com/showthread.php?t=1075643

If you're spending that much money I would research it further or try and PM someone with more DT and EB knowledge like aussiejames or maybe Matt (Bonsai_Tree_Ent) on here, MrKenner on RS or Mattias Rendahl if you're a member on Jabba's on FB.
